Vocabulary
"relative"
I don't understand calling something "relative"?
The context is as below:
"Comedy is extremely relative. What I find funny doesn’t encompass the general populations opinion on comedy right?"
I can definitely guess what he's trying to convey, but I doubt if his choice of word is correct.
Thanks in advance!

Relative here mean someone think that's funny, but someone think in the opposite(May be it think the opinion is disgusting). So it said Comedy is relative, base on people's opinion/culture. Just my thoughts
